Sorry , I have to disagree with you on the casting code theory,Mike. I`m a patternmaker at Brillion Iron Works up here in WI and I can tell you the dates cast ARE the dates they were poured. It`s a quality assurance thing. Records are kept of the metalurgical tests from every day and every shift. That way if there is a failure in the casting , they can go back in the records and see at what temps castings were poured and what exact alloys were added. Some foundries even have what look like little clocks on patterns that they moved the hands every hour so they know what time on that day they were poured. Other foundries will have a D or N with a pointer pointing at one of them on the pattern for day or night shift. I would be shocked if IH was any different back then in their foundries.
